    hehehe Beenie you sound like me! i had the backdated money and i had £110 for the pram, then petrol, new brakes and shopping. The pram was £130 but im thinking its a good deal as i wont have to buy the bits! also i bought 6 meal deals so that is 6+dinners already organised! Hopefully i will get these prams sold this weekend!

    caz, can i ask why ur getting rid of ur p&t? I'm totally drooling after one whenever Number 2 comes along.

    The main reason is that Charlie sits in the back and when he has an outburst i cabbot get him in it, it is very low and the handle is in the way. If i do get him in it he put all his weight leaning onto the mudflaps which stops the wheel moving:eek: Obviously most children will be fine but Charlie isnt really and adverage child :rotfl:. It is a great pram but i think i am swayed with the new one, the back seat lies completly flat and as both seats are the same height and its easier to get him in!

    Tara do u want another bottle *hic*

    Do you think im doing the right thing not telling them? At least they will think she is still alive?
    Have 6 bottles here from the meal deals lol! may have to be tempted! need to wash the P&T first though.

    Is Izzy talking away? Erin has been saying more and more words and is very clear, even Charlie is amazed :D Today she pointed at herself and said 'me'

    I don't know about telling them really - I've lost track of how old they all are. They have to learn about mortality some time, but no reason it has to be today.

    And yes, lots of new words at the moment - she had about 5 words for ages, but recently she is picking up new ones all the time, and very clear some of them too. All cats are beebo because Grannys cat is Greebo. And of course she can say socks and shoes. And doggy. And sometimes we get "please" for yes (occasionally we get 'ssss for yes too, but not always). I'm also getting very definite nods and shaking of the head if I ask her if she wants something, which is quite useful :) It is all very cute :)

    Any recommendations for cheap but decent baby monitors, I won't need them for very long so don't want to pay much at all....just don't want to end up with some crackly things!!!

    We have this one costing under £25. It's not digital but not crackly. We only use it when we are downstairs and I have it turned low and just put it near the tv or whichever direction I'm facing and the lights tell me if there's any noise!

    I am going to see Elton John tomorrow night in Watford - I am very excited!

    Off to bed now as it will be a very late night tomorrow as we're driving back up home after.

    SS hope you find your list or can remember everything on it for your new one.

    Caz sorry about your rabbit :(

    Kindof thanks for the info but I couldn't read it!! It didn't make much sense having not watched it.

    Have a nice night ladies and enjoy your wine and chineses!

    I'm sorry Caz I was so up my own bum about my list I forgot about the rabbit :( I'd tell them he went off with the wild ones. (I am sure I've forgotten a lot of stuff, like where my travel toothbrush is.)

    Hello CM, welcome :)

    List is all ticked off except for dishes and rubbish to go out, will leave it on Husband's laptop with a note asking him to do them when he's up at stupid o'clock.

    See you all on Wednesday, unless we get trapped in the hotel with a snoozing baby and I use my natty little netbook :D
